Monthly archives for April, 2015

Due to a change of my personal circumstances, I will not be adding any new articles for a while on veggies.co.uk I know this might be a bit sad for some, but it is beyond my control for the moment. I have really enjoyed doing reviews. I especially appreciate your comments and feedback. I want to thank everyone for their support.

I have found a little gem of a veggie place in Mid Wales. Llanidloes is a very small town in mid Wales Powys, which already boasts one lovely little veggie cafe called The Great Oak. Now they have a heavenly small veggie/vegan restaurant too, called Sanctuary Restaurant.

The food is really good, it is not cafe type, more nice restaurant food. We both had delicious vegan meals. Fresh to order, tasty, the meals are mostly vegetarian but most are adaptable to vegan. The menu is a little unclear which needs work, however this place is cute, serves great food, the owners run the place, so they are very knowledgeable and very accommodating. They only have 4 tables and it is located in a crystal shop, this place is well worth a visit. You can take your own wine as they are not licensed.

They are open Wednesday to Saturday, lunch and evening meals. Book if you are going at night and let them know if you are vegan or have any special diet needs, they are happy to modify meals for you. It is great to find a veggie restaurant rather than just a veggie cafe in Wales.

Vegan Tuck box have sent me some vegan chocolate treats to try out, all by Premium Chocolatiers.

Milkless Polar Dream White – vegan white chocolate. This is my least favourite of the products sent through. The chocolate is a bit grainy and does not melt in your mouth very well. It is sweet like white chocolate, but there are definitely better vegan white chocolate products available.

Choco NO NO’s – hard colourful shells coating a milk chocolate style sweet chocolate. These are just lovely, the outer shell is crispy and the inside is lovely chocolate.

Peanut Butter NO NOs – hard to get that these contain no nuts, but you get the outer crispy shell and inside is lovely creamy peanut butter without the peanuts. Just lovely.

This brand has really come up with some great vegan products, and it is great that Vegan Tuck Box have got them into the UK.

You can buy them directly from Vegan Tuck Box. Both are suitable for vegans.

I have been asked to mention a new vegan B&B in Penzance Cornwall. Here is a bit of info from their website.

Bleujennow is the first vegan B&B in West Cornwall! Small and delightful, we offer two bedrooms, one with a double bed and sea view, and the other with a king-size bed, or two singles.

Situated in Penzance, a beautiful vibrant town, Bleujennow is 10 minutes’ walk from the town centre and the train and bus stations, and 15 minutes from the seafront! It’s the perfect spot for exploring South West Cornwall and further afield.

Expect delicious breakfasts, home baked bread; fairtrade coffee and tea, as well as a range of herb and spice teas. Picnics and evening meals are available if you wish.
